January 30th, 2012 by Fawn | Posted in Bellingham, Pending Ratios, Real Estate Sales Statistics | No Comments »

Every week we track the number of homes on the market that have offers on them and those that do not and create a ratio we call Pending Ratios. This weeks numbers were great with all areas either remaining stable or up in pendings.

As of Saturday, January 28th, the pending ratio in Bellingham was 22% . Pending is the time frame between when an offer has been mutual accepted between the buyer’s and the seller’s of the home and when the title actually transfers hands. This give the buyer’s time to get the financing, do inspection, review the title reports and more.

Birch Bay had a pending ratio of 18%

The Lynden area in East Whatcom County has a pending ratio of 20%

The Sudden Valley pending ratio was 24%

Johnson Team Moving Truck Helps Spark Museum in Bellingham

January 25th, 2012 by Fawn | Posted in Bellingham, Random, Testimonials, Whatcom County | No Comments »

Had to share this photo and message from client Pat Goff. The van he references is The Johnson Team moving truck.

Lylene,
The van was just the right size to haul the scrap metal to the recyclers in
one trip.
I raised $5600.00 for the Spark Museum from the scrap I collected from my
radio antenna replacement project at work.

The “Spark Museum”, in case you didn’t know, is the new name for the former American Museum of Radio and Electricity, located at 1312 Bay St. If you haven’t ever visited them, you have missed a real treat. It is full of fascinating, interactive displays – great for kids as well as adults – and even houses a radio station.

Remember The Johnson Team Moving Truck is available FREE to local community non profit organizations and our clients. To schedule the truck call (360) 303-2734

Preparing Your Home For A Windstorm

January 24th, 2012 by Fawn | Posted in Bellingham, Random, Whatcom County | No Comments »

The wind is really picking up outside and it looks like there might be even more wind in the forecast later in the week. Below are some tips to help keep you and your home safe in a windstorm.

- Go out in your yard and collect any loose items that may blow away in a storm. Lawn chairs, lawn ornaments and even trampolines are example of items that tend to take flight in storms.

-Check out your fencing around your home that might need repair to assure the wind does not further damage it and potentially let your pets out of the yard.

- Be sure to check for loose or missing shingles on your roof or chimney flue caps which may have become loose. Damaged or loose flues can allow deadly carbon monoxide to enter a home.

-Be sure to have trees and branches trimmed back from your home to prevent damage when wind may batter them around.

-Have at least a 72 hour supply of food, water, flashlights, batteries, medicine & etc in case of power outages & the potential inability to leave your home due to blocked roads or other issues.

-Check your windows for cracks that may leave your windows vulnerable during a storm. If a window has a small crack it can sometimes spread in extreme winds causing it to shatter.

- After a storm be sure and remove debris from yard as this can attract insects and lead to problems in and around your home.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm in tonight’s windstorm!
